The Jacksonville Jaguars may or may not get their starting quarterback back on the field for their crucial Week 18 game against the division rival Tennessee Titans. Head coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Lawrence will be listed as questionable for the game, and that a decision on his status “might be all the way up to game time,” via NFL Media.

Pederson did note that Lawrence “is progressing good” as he works his way back from the shoulder and finger injuries that kept him out of last week’s victory over the Carolina Panthers. Lawrence was limited in practices on Wednesday and Thursday after not practicing at all in the lead-up to the Week 17 game against Carolina.

If Lawrence ultimately cannot go, backup C.J. Beathard would be expected to fill in for him again. Beathard has gone 40 of 53 for 349 yards and one touchdown in his relief appearances this season. He had thrown just 13 passes in his previous two seasons as Lawrence’s backup.
